2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LS10 VRV

The 2010 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test. In the October 2023 test at 75,560 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests in October 2022 at 68,845 miles and October 2021 at 65,338 miles also returned passes with no advisories. The maintenance trend is therefore stable with no worsening mechanical faults across the available record. The recorded mileage of 75,560 at the October 2023 test equates to roughly 4,722 miles per year over the car's sixteen-year life, which is low for its age. Between the October 2021 test at 65,338 miles and the October 2023 test the car covered only 10,222 miles across two years, indicating light use or possible periods of standing. The MOT history is sparse and clean, with a single anomalous failure on 19 October 2021 at 65,338 miles showing no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the vehicle's age and the lack of advisory data to confirm rust prevention. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for age-related degradation not captured by the clean tests. The low mileage and standing periods imply fluids, tyres, and brake calipers may have deteriorated through inactivity rather than wear. Despite the clean record, the October 2021 duplicate entry with a failure and no defects points to incomplete DVSA data rather than verified condition. Prospective owners should verify service history and assess exhaust emissions and binding calipers before purchase.
